Instructions Typically, the diameter is triple the width of the post (12 inches for a 4-inch-by-4-inch post). The hole depth should be below the frost line. Typically, this means to a depth of 30 inches (24 inches for post, 4 inches for gravel and 2 inches below ground level).rive stakes at the locations where fence posts will be installed. Make sure the stakes are positioned against the string. The distance between posts is dictated by the size of prebuilt panels, horizontal rails or local building regulations. Typically, spacing is between 5 feet and 8 feet.

Deck Foundations The required thickness of the concrete (depth) will depend on the size of the post that will bear on the foundation and the bearing area. The thickness of the footing cannot be less than the greatest horizontal distance from the edge of the post to the edge of the footing. This assures that the 45-degree bearing cone that extends downward from the edge of the post will terminate at the side of the footing, not the bottom.

- Don’t forget of course that you are not pouring footings to support a high-rise skyscraper. As long as the concrete is a fairly solid chunk it will do it’s job just fine. I recently pulled up a couple of PT 4×4 posts that I dry-set in 1994 and the concrete came up in one solid chunk still attached to the post.tandard practice is to use 40# per line post and a full bag (80#) for gate posts. We set the post in the hole, pour the concrete, tamp with a digging bar, finish filling the hole with dirt and tamp. Just make sure the holes are the right depth to accomodate the height of the fence.

Setting Pole Building Posts Here is the email I was responding to: “On the design flaws, and other issues, here is what I have experienced. 1-The concrete footing on the pole building posts. Standard practice in this area is to have an 8-10 inch concrete pad and the post to be 48″ in the ground. The concrete collar created some interesting problems. It is very difficult to place the poles when the bottom of the post is not in contact with anything.

- 5. Dig a hole two to three times the diameter of the fence post and 24 to 48 inches deep. The posts stand upright best when you bury one-third of the total post length, but you might not be able to dig as deep, so a minimum of 24 inches is acceptable.. Set the post in the hole while holding a level on the side to check for plumb. Fill in the hole around the fence post with more 1/4-minus gravel packed tight against the sides of the post. Tamp down the gravel.

Fence Planning Wooden line posts are typically 5-6 wide treated posts and are set 2'-2.5' in the ground. When using t-posts, we recommend a 5:1 ratio of wooden to metal t-posts. Most commonly, fence posts can be placed 8-12 feet apart. Brace posts should be set no less than 3.5 feet into the ground.o get the desired post length, add together the depth of setting, the height of top wire above the ground and 6 extra to get the desired post length. For example, a corner brace post set 3.5' for a 4' fence would have to be 8' long.

Concrete usually requires a larger hole roughly 12 inches wide for a 4×4 post while gravel can be roughly 8 inches wide for a 4×4 post. Next, take your fence post and stick it in the hole. Make sure it is the right height and adjust accordingly by continuing to dig or filling in the hole. For a sturdy post you should try and make your hole at least 2 feet deep.
